This entire dreamy meal comes in at under 600 calories (Picture: File)

Turns out, some of your favourite foods might not be as bad for you as you first thought. We scoured our favourite restaurants’ nutritional info, discussed with our friends and went mental on MyFitnessPal to find out the foods which won’t make you too chubby pre-holiday.

1. McCain Potato Smilies. These bad boys have a mere 150 calories for five. We repeat, 150 CALORIES FOR FIVE.

2. McCain potato wedges are another great bet if you’re trying to pretend you’re classier than smiley faces. One normal sized serving has just 177kcal.

3. On the subject of frozen food, veggie burgers have a sly 150 cals. Stick them in a bun with some cheese and ketchup and you’re still laughing at under 400 calories. WIN.

4. You’re aware you can eat six fish fingers for only 350 calories aren’t you?

5. And that you can eat an actual McDonald’s burger for only 385? Thank you, McChicken sandwich. Thank you.

There’s lettuce, it’s basically nutritious (Picture: McDonald’s)

6. If you skimp on size a little bit, a humble Maccies cheeseburger comes in at only 295. HELLO, LUNCHTIME.

7. If you swan off to Pizza Express and don’t fancy a pizza with a hole in the middle (which is always), the lasagne has just over 600 cals while the Four Season glides in at 679, which is AMAZING for a pizza. Just FYI, a whole medium-sized pizza at Domino’s has double that, so yup.

8. And also, their new summer pudding has only 255 calories in it, which considering it *tastes* like a naughty dessert is amazing.

9. Swan off to Nando’s and you can eat a chicken pitta for less than 400 cals, which is pretty exciting.

10. Stick to a fish or chicken ramen at Wagamama and you’ll also come in at under 600 cals, which considering you’re eating out is not too shabby.

11. Although, guys, a chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle weighs in at a baby 384. Dreamy low-cal lunch right there.

12. OR go for two oozy slices of cheese on toast for only 350. This is serious, two slices, slither of butter and your standard cheddar is just 350.

13. If you want crazily low calories go for a baked sweet potato which has a measly 110 calories. That’s basically a snack, right? Top with cheese, butter and beans and you’re still under 400. Come on, give us a high five.

14. Oh and mash? Normal potato mash? Like 150 per serving. Add gravy and fried onions to bring it up to 200 and make the BEST winter snack ever.

15. Be lazy and have a tin of Heinz soup. 200 calories for the whole tin. Easy peasy.

16. Possibly one of our favourite finds is that a medium shish kebab with pitta, salad and ketchup is around the 350 calorie mark. Slightly less for chicken, marginally higher for lamb. BEST. NEWS. EVER.

17. You can go and buy a tub of frozen yoghurt from Pinkberry or Snog, shower it in fresh fruit and caramel sauce and it will be around 320 calories. Which, considering it tastes phenomenal and takes an age to finish eating compared to your rubbish ice cream, is AMAZING.

So heavenly and low in fat (Picture: File)

18. Oh, and also Mini Milks have 30 calories.

19. And rocket ice lollies have 40.

20. Those Mikado chocolate sticks? A casual 11 calories per stick. YOU CAN EAT 10 GUILT-FREE.

21. A yummy gooey tea cake from M&S is just 75.

22. Wotsits, French Fries and Quavers are all under 100 calories for a multi-pack sized bag so you can forget eating lame rice cakes ever again.

23. Those pink and white wafers you ate as a kid? A charming 50 kcal each. A-fricking-mazing.

Remember these bad buys? (Picture: File)

24. Finally, you know how much you love sugary fizzy drinks? For some reason Tango, and we’re talking all varieties; apple, cherry and orange, only come in at 35 calories. YES, YES, YES.
